Research Interests
My current research project is determining the relative contributions of different microbial communities to nitrogen cycling in soil (see COMICONS project). Following on from my PhD work, I am also very interested in the ecology of soil viruses and their impact on biogeochemical cycling. I utilize culturing, stable isotope probing and metagenomics (& viromics) to target specific microbial groups and uncover virus-host interactions in soil.
